Zoom planes grounded

Damn nickel and dime me to death legacy carriers. I'll show them, I'm going to fly on a low cost carrier. I'll be 100's of people with travel plans and stranded at airports are not thinking this right now. But they would have time to write about it

Since when is Zoom a 'legacy carrier'???

I have been in the travel business for years, that includes various areas of the industry, and I have to honestly say I never even heard of this outfit.
Hope WestJet keeps doing well.

I've heard of them in the trade press. I just feel for any airline employee going through this. I've been there.

They flew 767's from Canadian cities to Europe. Very hot young FEMALE flight attendants who drink like fish!

If you have never heard of ZOOM, I suspect you have not picked up an aviation publication in quite some time.

Zoom blames the unprecedented rise in the price of aviation fuel.

The unprecedented rise in the price of aviation fuel which resulted in a 50 million dollar (US) increase in operating costs during the last year and the general economic downturn had made it impossible for operations to continue.

Insider, it's called sarcasm. Everyone complains how the legacy carriers are charging for all things they used to give free. They are still flying. The list of low cost carriers stopping service with no notice is growing longer monthly

Wow missed this one!

Wrong! Don't assume. Rude will only get you it back.
I just never heard of it. And I travel a lot, and am currently taking a tourism travel agent course. But the most part of it is US,(don't know why, I am doing the course in Canada).
I suspect you were going for sarcasm in your post.
Must have been sometime since you hit your mark on that one!
